POLL: What Do You Love Most About Romantic Heroes?




Gotta love those alphas! People often say that our fathers help shape our ideal man fantasies. Maybe, maybe not, but my favorite romantic heroes definitely have a few traits in common.

I like them taller than average (my father was 6'3"), let's call it "big-boned," attractive in a rugged sort of way, but most of all it's the way they treat the woman they love that impresses and moves me most. Ideally, my heros are generous with their resources (time, money, knowledge, skills, contacts), supportive of and interested in my dreams and pursuits (not envious, competitive, or resentful), thoughtful (if it's important to me, it should be important to him), and protective(after all, biblically, that's a big part of his role ;-)

Inquiring minds want to know. What qualities in a romantic hero move you most? C'est la vie! Feel free to add your own...

I like a little bit of attitude. Maybe not cocky, per se, but a confidence that is obvious in his manliness and his emotions.

Yeah, me too. I think that's part of the edginess for me :-)Strong and confident, but not so arrogant that he's an ass :-)

For me, it's also about the eyes and the shape of the lips. I hate a man who has "sleepy" eyes and lips like walrus blubber. Yuk!

The eyes should be big, but not popped. Dark and smokey to add a bit of mystery about him. Makes me want to get to know him how he thinks.

...and the lips...should be warm, soft and tender. Slightly moist. Not juicy, soup cooler lips. Uggh!

LOL. Yes, everything in perfect proportion. I like sultry eyes, not big, but intense.

I definitely like the alpha males and have a thing for guys with long hair like Daniel Day Lewis in the Last of the Mohicans.

I like the longer hair, too. Maybe cuz it's unconventional.

Ya know, ML's comment just made me realize what's missing from my angel pic - he needs longer hair!
